HiFi Phantom

BandRockPop

Duke Ellington said there are only two types of music, good music and the other kind. HiFi Phantom is good music. It's feel good, sometimes feel bad music. It's Party time music, it's think about your life music. Not enough bands try to be everything to everybody, but then there is HiFi Phantom.

Biography

Not many bands try to be everything to everybody, but then there is HiFi Phantom. Meeting in Toronto, but hailing from Canada’s East and West coasts, Jamaica and Great Britain, HiFi Phantom hope to soundtrack your ecstatic joy and darkest despair. Sometimes both simultaneously.

The glue that holds the whole mess together is a love of pop songs, grooves and fuzzy noises. But delivered on a rotating selection of instruments and lead singers, the results are always unpredictable and the possibilities abundant. There’s a party at death beach and all are welcome. But brace yourself for the tidal wave.

Hifi Phantom was formed as a response to the following Craigslist Ad:

Looking for a few musicians to complement our on going music projects. Looking for people with the right fit and the right ear and taste in music. Our focus is ultimately on sounds and rhythms rather than melody's and licks. YOU MUST BE CONCERNED WITH YOUR SOUND AS MUCH AS YOU ARE WITH YOUR CHOPS. In the end it's about the music and creating nuanced and interesting whole piece rather than a showcase for your talent.

Ideally you'll be like us, able to play a few instruments well enough to come up with parts for various songs. If you are a 'guitarist' who likes to shred all over everyone to show how 'awesome' you are. Don't apply.

That means being interested in the following: Synthesizers Guitar pedals Radiohead Drum Machines Samplers Keyboards Distortion Pavement Animal Collective Vocal harmonies Experimental Sounds Heavy bass Feedback Delay and reverb A good pop song John Cage Pet Sounds The Recording process Hip hop the Beastie Boys The Dark side of the moon The Talking Head New sounds A genre-less music Brian Eno

We own a recording studio and are interested in putting together a live show and band for future projects. We are down to just jam and see what comes of it and hopefully something pans out. If not jamming is fun so who cares.
